Every organization recognizes the importance of competing for talent and organizing that talent once acquired. Yet research shows that most organizations still lack a deep and logical understanding of how decisions about human capital, talent, and organization design and effectiveness connect to business and strategic success.

Learn how to build that deep, logical understanding through a proven approach to analyze your business strategy and discover specific, actionable implications for your talent and organization, with clear strategic results.

Where will talent and organization investments make the biggest difference in your strategic success?

This seminar provides a proven framework that helps business, HR and organization leaders answer this key question.

You will learn and apply the framework featured in Beyond HR (Harvard Business School Publishing) by John Boudreau and Pete Ramstad. Using that framework, Boudreau and Ramstad show you how to analyze your own strategy to uncover hidden, vital pivot-points where your HR and talent management will make their biggest strategic contribution.

The seminar is built on Boudreau and Ramstad's unique "decision science" for talent, which shares many of the same principles of decision sciences like finance and marketing. This framework has enabled organizations to achieve true line-of-sight between HR investments and their sustainable strategic success.

This framework and the talentship decision science are based on 10 years of research, application and work with leading organizations.

This program will provide:

• Unique focus on the integration between business strategy, HR strategy, and talent and organization implications
• Hands-on experience with the proven framework featured in the Harvard Business School Publishing book Beyond HR, with the goal of developing and analyzing strategies to discover unique strategic value in human and organizational capital
• A guided learning process, with a proprietary array of rigorous and practical tools that have been used by organizations such as Allstate, Corning, Deluxe, Microsoft, Northrop Grumman, PepsiCo and The Toro Company
• A workshop learning approach that is based on leading research in strategy, economics, organizational behavior and psychology 
  

This is a highly interactive workshop. Participants work directly with tools to analyze organizational strategy at all levels. You will use tools to identify the "lenses" that reveal where talent and organization decisions most affect strategic and business success, and the implications for human resource and organization practices. You will practice by applying these tools to available information from specific organizations, and you will learn about other organizations through discussion and break-out work.
